Sharing Files by Connecting to a Linux System from a Windows System

Hi! I'm just wondering if anyone here could help me on how to see my /home/arvin/Shared (FC5) using windows. I used samba to make it run. I can view my windows shared folders. Im just wondering how could I view my linux folder. this is what i did on my smb.conf:

Hello:
I am just wondering if you have SELinux enabled?
It may be blocking the access to your /home
If you have it enabled, try disabling it and or setting it to permissive and see if it helps.
You can also Modify SElinux policy under Samba to allow Samba to share users home directories.
Or you could try making a new Share directory, which is not located in your /home

Already disable the the firewall as well as SELinux. Assuming I'm on my Windows: I went to run theny type \\brandnubian01 it appeared on my Network01. I also did change the path of the folder I want so share. How can I view the file on linux if issue in on the run terminal. \\home\arvin\Shared? or any path please help. thanks
